If fifty percent (50%) or more of the total frontage is in more than one Residential Zone, then the minimum front setback on the commercially or industrially zoned lots is one-half (½) of that required in the Residential Zone with the lesser front setback (see Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 2]). Also, see Section 17.108.130 for allowed projections into setbacks.

Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 2] *for illustration purposes only

3. The following notes apply to the maximum front yard requirement:

a. The requirements only apply to the construction of new principal buildings.

b. The requirements do not apply to lots containing Recreational Assembly, Community Education, Utility and Vehicular, or Extensive Impact Civic Activities or Automobile and Other Light Vehicle Gas Station and Servicing Commercial Activities as principal activities.

c. Maximum yards apply to seventy-five percent (75%) of the street frontage on the principal street and fifty percent (50%) on other streets, if any. All percentages, however, may be reduced to fifty percent (50%) upon the granting of Regular Design Review approval (see Chapter 17.136 for the design review procedure). In addition to the criteria contained in Section 17.136.050, the proposal to reduce to fifty percent (50%) must also meet each of the following criteria:

i. The additional yard area abutting the principal street is designed to accommodate publicly accessible plazas, sidewalk cafes, or restaurants;

iii. The proposal will not weaken the concentration and continuity of retail facilities at ground-level, and will not impair the retention or creation of an important shopping frontage; and

iv. The proposal will not interfere with the movement of people along an important pedestrian street.

4. Wherever an interior side lot line abuts an interior side lot line of any lot located in an RH or RD Zone, a side setback of six (6) feet is required. In the case where an interior side lot line abuts an interior side lot line in a RM Zone, the setback of the abutting portion of its side lot line is five (5) feet. In the case where an interior side lot line abuts an interior side lot line of any lot located in an RU-1 or RU-2 Zone, a side setback of four (4) feet is required (see Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 4], below). Also, see Section 17.108.130 for allowed projections into setbacks.

5. See Section 17.108.080 for the required interior side and rear yard setbacks on a lot containing two or more living units and opposite a legally required living room window.

6. When the rear yard of a reversed corner lot abuts a key lot that is in an RH, RD, or RM Zone, the required street side yard setback in the rear ten (10) feet of the reversed corner lot is one-half (½) of the minimum

front yard required on the key lot, but shall not be required to exceed four (4) feet in width if it would reduce to less than twenty-five (25) feet the buildable width of any corner lot (see Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 6], below). Also, see Section 17.108.130 for allowed projections into setbacks.

Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 6] *for illustration purposes only

7. Wherever a rear lot line abuts an alley, one-half of the right-of-way width of the alley may be counted toward the required minimum rear setback; provided, however, that the portion of the minimum rear setback actually on the lot itself shall not be so reduced to less than ten (10) feet. Also, see Section

8. When a rear lot line is adjacent to an RH, RD, or RM Zone, the required rear setback for both Residential and Nonresidential Facilities is ten (10) feet. When a rear lot line is not adjacent to an RH, RD, or RM Zone, the required rear setback is ten (10) feet for Residential Facilities and there is no required setback for Nonresidential Facilities.

9. This percentage of transparency is only required for principal buildings that include ground floor Nonresidential Facilities, and only applies to the facade facing the principal street. The regulations only apply to facades located within twenty (20) feet of a street frontage. The area of required transparency is between two (2) feet and nine (9) feet in height of the ground floor and must be comprised of clear, nonreflective windows that allow views out of indoor activity space, or lobbies (see Illustration for Table

Areas required for garage doors shall not be included in the

calculation of facade area (see Additional Regulation 12 for limitations on the location of parking access). Glass block does not qualify as a transparent window. Exceptions to this regulation may be allowed by the Planning Director for unique facilities such as convention centers, gymnasiums, parks, gas stations, theaters and other similar facilities.

Illustration for Table 17.33.03 [Additional Regulation 9] *for illustration purposes only

10. This height is only required for new principal buildings that include ground floor Nonresidential Facilities, and is measured from the sidewalk grade to the second story floor.

11. This regulation only applies to new Residential Facilities and ground floor living space located within fifteen (15) feet of a street frontage.

12. For the new construction of principal buildings in the CN-1, CN-2, and CN-3 Zones, access to parking and loading facilities through driveways, garage doors, or other means shall not be from the principal street when alternative access is feasible from another location such as a secondary frontage or an alley. Where this is not feasible, every reasonable effort shall be made to share means of vehicular access with abutting properties. Open parking areas shall not be located between the sidewalk and a principal building.

13. For the new construction of principal buildings in the CN-1, CN-2, and CN-3 Zones, ground level parking spaces, locker areas, mechanical rooms, and other non-active spaces shall not be located within thirty (30) feet of the front of the principal building, except for incidental entrances to such activities elsewhere in the building. Exceptions to this regulation may be permitted by the Planning Director for utilities and trash enclosures that cannot be feasibly placed in other locations of the building. Driveways, garage entrances, or other access to parking and loading facilities may be located on the ground floor of this area as regulated by Additional Regulation 12, above.

14. See Section 17.103.080 for additional parking regulations that apply to Accessory Dwelling Units.

15. Vehicular Residential Facilities shall be located a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the street or be located behind a building. See Section 17.103.085 for additional setback and separation requirements for Vehicular Residential Facilities.

Additional Regulations for Table 17.33.04:

1. The maximum height within ten (10) feet of the front property line is either the height limit on the subject lot shown in the above table or the height maximum for the height area of the parcel directly across the principal street, whatever is less (see Illustration for Table 17.33.04 [Additional Regulation 1], below).

Illustration for Table 17.33.04 [Additional Regulation 1] *for illustration purposes only

2. Buildings in the CN Zones shall have a thirty (30) foot maximum height at the setback line associated with any rear or interior side lot line that abut a lot in an RH, RD, or RM Zone; if the principal building on the abutting lot has a height of thirty (30) feet or less, this maximum height shall increase one (1) foot for every foot of distance away from this setback line. If the principal building on the abutting lot has a height of greater than thirty (30) feet, the maximum height shall increase two (2) feet for every foot away from the applicable setback line (see Illustration for Table 17.33.04 [Additional Regulation 2], below). Also, see Section 17.108.030 for allowed projections above height limits and Section 17.108.020 for increased height limits in certain situations.

Illustration for Table 17.33.04 [Additional Regulation 2] *for illustration purposes only

3. This minimum height requirement only applies to the new construction of a principal building that is located on parcels adjacent to a street right-of-way that is one hundred (100) feet wide or more. Buildings constructed to accommodate Essential Service, Utility and Vehicular, or Extensive Impact Civic Activities or Automobile and Other Light Vehicle Gas Station and Servicing Commercial Activities may be exempted from the height minimum regulation by the Planning Director. The allowed projections into the height limits contained in Section 17.108.030 are not counted towards the height minimum.

4. See Chapter 17.107 for affordable and senior housing incentives. See Section 17.103.080 and Chapter

5. As specified in Section 17.106.030, the total lot area shall be used as the basis for computing both the maximum nonresidential FAR and the maximum residential density for mixed use projects.

6. In the 35* height area, residential developments are subject to the same residential density and open space regulations as the adjacent RH, RD, or RM Zone, except that One-Family Dwellings, along with one (1) or more Accessory Dwelling Units as specified in Section 17.103.080, are permitted in the 35* height area regardless of the residential density regulations in the adjacent zone (see also Table 17.33.02). When there is more than one (1) of these abutting zones, then the regulations of the zone allowing the greatest density shall apply.

7. Usable open space is only required on lots with two (2) or more dwelling units, excluding any permitted Accessory Dwelling Units. Each one (1) square foot of private usable open space equals two (2) square feet towards the total usable open space requirement, except that actual group space shall be provided in the minimum amount specified in the table per dwelling unit, excluding any permitted Accessory Dwelling Units. All usable open space shall meet the standards contained in Chapter 17.126.
